The 2023 Official “Jay Bilas No Rules” Transfer Portal Thread

What about Dayton Forsythe?

I was going off former Griffin team. As in Seton Hall and Adrian Griffin.

Gotcha. But Forsythe played in a program in OKC called team griffin (after Blake). That's where my guess came from.

More info on Forsythe.

Wrong “bro”. I told this thread about Quincy Acy and I told this thread about the Cortes commitment the day before his commitment came out.

also told this thread this week the hold up on Pohto. Those weren’t my thoughts they were straight from some of the horses mouths.


If I want to joke around every now and again I will do as I please.

nice try though.

Go crawl back into your hole, douche.

You’re kind of a laughing stock now.

Ahhh, good deduction skills. I hadn't considered that.

I could freak everybody out by mentioning that I recall PM left 9 scholarships open the first year he coached ORU. It's a long time until the transfer situations get worked out.

Pohto's situation is not $$. His student visa doesn't allow him to earn $$. I haven't heard of any who are recruiting him. I think he will be back, but he's going to have convince PM that he wants to come back, rather than PM needs to re-recruit him.

For a moment, assume Pohto comes back. That leaves the 5 rotation at Germany, Pohto, and Ballard. The 4 rotation at Abidde and Pohto. The 3/2 rotation at Beverly, Ricks and Rogers. The 1 rotation at Cortes and Bell.

That may not be ideal. but it's a minimal effective rotation. That leaves PM some latitude in going after other recruits. PM is in a position where he can be picky. He's not forced to go for any warm body.

That may not work out well, but PM may think he has a workable rotation and is only going to go after players who could improve that rotation.

I agree. And he may be in the Fran Fraschilla mindset:

The kids all want to be able to transfer whenever they want but the other side of the coin is that not all coaches want to bring in players that are transfer happy. The only way to slow down the volume of transfers is to let these kids see what it’s like to be left without a school.

None of these kids will ever believe that it could happen to them.

Think Team Griffin.

Daimion Collins played for Team Griffin. Would be an awesome pickup if he is who is being alluded to.

He left 9 open before the transfer portal was a thing. Leaving multiple open now days is just not doing your job IMO. He's got to expect to lose 3-4 no matter what he does. We don't need to be back trying to fill 9 scholarships next year too.

Which might just be why he’s taking his time finding talented athletes who actually want to be here long term. Gotta separate the wheat

That would be nice. Noticed he has a background with Bijan Cortez on the team griffin team. He also entered the portal on the same day Cortez signed with WSU. Nice find! Would be a great get.

Would definitely be a good one. Hopefully we can keep him away from the Texas schools that may want him.
